So base on the order in Round 1 Only Grollus and Jade acts and then the wolf and giant wolf acts. After which in Round 2 all the players act normally in any order and the the wolves act and then all the players act in a block again etc etc.

Any questions post in Discussion. I know it can get confusing. Basically the idea is that So basically, if you think of Surprise Rounds as a bonus for people who roll well on Init/Perception checks, and don't start counting rounds until After the Wolf goes at the end of round 1, your blocks just become a back and forth between the players and the bad guys.

I think of the Surprise round as round -1 (when only the fastest and sharpest react), Round 1 as Round 0 (when everyone is catching up, getting their bearings, drawing their weapons, etc.) and Round 2 as the real start of combat. By that point everyone is fully engaged.

Since she already had her glaive out, Embrianna gazes at the giant, yellow eyed wolf and targets it with Smite Evil. She then swings her weapon at the creature, hoping that if the giant one is downed the little ones will flee.

Smite Evil Description:

Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.

Round 1:
Targets the giant wolf with Smite Evil
Attacks with Glaive from where she is.
1d20+8+1 +3 more if evil for total of 23
Damage
1d10+4 +4 more if evil for a total of 14

Since she already had her glaive out, Embrianna gazes at the giant, yellow eyed wolf and targets it with Smite Evil. She then swings her weapon at the creature, hoping that if the giant one is downed the little ones will flee.

** spoiler omitted **

unfortunately you may not take an action in round 1. Also currently we are still in surprise round and Jade has yet to take her action. You only act in round 2 but in round 1 you are not flatfooted. i can use your this roll for round 2

The glaive cuts deeply into its shoulder blade. The giant wolf thrashed around in pain and agony as blood splattered around the stone floor. It howled and the other wolves seems to response with frenzy.

Sorry about the wait guys. Had a long day of work.Kn. Nature:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Jade smiles as the wolves charge in. This should be fun, she says, sidestepping the first wolf. Jade centers herself then quickly moves into an attack. She kicks at the wolf in front of her. She then flows into another attack, bringing her elbow down towards it's head. Finally she strikes a third time, bringing her other leg up to the creatures neck.

I assume the 14 AC is for all the reg wolfs? So I only hit the once? Based off of that I . . .

Jade watches two of her attacks go wide. She concentrates again and brings her empty fist around to the wolf. At almost the same time she brings one leg up in a straight lift kicking the wolf to her side. Then she takes a quick step forward flowing straight into another kick at the third wolf.

A sharp crack rang out deafening the rolling thunder temporary. The dire wolf whined as its back tore open revealing his ribcage and spine as flesh and blood splattered away from the wound. The impact was so great that the dire wolf was stopped in his track and lifted off the ground and flung 15 feet away landing at the feet of Embrianna.

The retreating wolf obviously confused at the commotion twirled around on the spot trying to understand the situation before it was forced to the ground by an invisible force. The wolf yelped and a pool of blood began to form around his side before a metal spear blinked into existence.

A man wearing a helmet with a narrow slit visor with fully body chainmail was seating on a mount. He is holding on to the blunt end of the spear that impaled the wolf. He is wearing a grey livery with a white logo on it. You recognized the logo to be the same as the one in the letter.

Standing beside the guard is a person with his right outstretched hand holding a unique contraption you have not seen before. Smoke is rising from the long end of the barrel. You can see that he is well dressed in a midnight blue outfit. He is wearing a turban with white cloth fittings around his head. Part of his face is covered with a translucent veil. His eyes are of piercing black and he dons a rather handsome face with a well groomed mustache.

Not bad, you killed all of them in just 12 seconds

The mustached man spoke and smiled before putting the weird contraption into a leather holder by the side of his sash.

Ah Mister Dignis Burrows I believe? Nice to meet you finally. My name is Alferd Manningford and my family have been in service to the Nightfall family for the past 700 years. You all have been chosen for a very sacred assignment that I am not allowed to reveal except through my Master's lips. I trust that by your presence here tonight, you have accepted our offer to come with us yes?

The man walked towards the group with outstretched palms as if welcoming them to his presence. 2 more guards broke invisibility and accompanied behind him.

I can't speak for these people, who I've only just met, but I'd like to know where you're going before I come with you, Mr. Manningford.

Speak plainly. What do you, or more simply, your masters of the Nightfall family, want from this disparate group? What banner do you want us to rally to? I don't mean to be rude, but I'd rather speak with one of your Nightfall masters. Otherwise, such delegation is merely a ruse, or a manipulation of some sort. I will speak with your master, or leave.

Ahhhh always the fiesty one. I see you are indeed a follower of Cayden Cailean.

Alferd chuckled.

You will meet my masters soon enough for I am your contact to bring you there. What you are to witness there is for your eyes only and no one else. Whether I speak the truth or I am lying to you, I say I am just speaking plainly to you for my world I live in is so far beyond your imagination that whatever I speak will seem stories you hear about.

The choice is yours but do make you decision fast as I fear we do not have much time left.

Alferd looks up at the full moon cast overhead as it bask them in the silvery moonlight before looking at the rest of the group.

Thak straps his bow onto his back and steps forward. "A test, eh? Clearly you do not think much of us if you think these puppies might suit that purpose." Casually, he kicks the corpse of a fallen wolf off the cliff. "As for 'beyond my imagination', I will judge that for myself, sir. Onwards!"

Jade nods at Thak and begins to run towards the large wolf, when the new men appear. She stops and looks around thoughtfully. Hmm. That was a rather sorry dance. Someone needs to be teaching those wolves how. She smiles then, listening to the man.

Anyway time is running out. It is imperative we move immediately. Come let us talk along the way and for those who are still undecided may I highly recommend that you follow suit.

Alferd nods to one of the guards as they turned their mounts and crossed the stone bridge. A pearl white carriage drawn by 2 horses rolled in. The carriage is an image of pain. The entire top of the carriage is constructed with black protruding spikes and thorns. It has only 1 tiny opening serving as a window.

I call her the Hedgehog for obvious reasons. As the place where we are going "The Dusk Valley" is a secret location. You may not know it's where about until we have completed the initiation ceremony. As such you will be transported in the Hedgehog.

Alferd smiled upon observing the group's reaction.

Do not worry, the carriage locks from inside so you may exit the carriage anytime.

Turning to Terflynn and Diggins

As for the both of you, I will require you to put this on. My apologies.

Alferd signals the guards to pass them a black silk scarf.

Do RP anytime and indicate when you are ready by placing your portrait in the carriage. Terflynn and Diggin may indicate by placing you and your mount on the other side of the bridge.

Jade laughs lightly as Alfred speaks. I should like to see your dancing when we have time. For now, you are right. Let's go. Jade suits her words by walking forward and attempting to link arms with Alfred as they walk to the carriage.

I'm on my phone, would someone else be kind enough to move me to the carriage?

"Great goddess, wither dost thou direct me now..." mutters Thak as he shakes his head, staring at the spiny monstrosity that is to be his conveyance. "I'm not sure whether I should ride in this or load it into a catapult for delivery to the nearest enemy castle..."

Very well, then. Let's see where this ends up. Like most gnomes, the sorcerer is a curious sort, and would be glad to ride in the strange carriage just for the experience. He can't resist the invitation.
